Help


In order to run the program "helpme" with elevated privileges at a command prompt, what would you type?


Which service does BIND perform?


Which service does DHCPD perform?


Which service does PostFix perform?


Which service does Open LDAP perform?


What is the command line tool used in Debian based distributions to install and remove packages, and to update the package lists?


Name at least two versions of the X Graphical environment that are used with Linx.


For most services in Debian based distributions, which directory would I have to point to find the programs to stop and start services, such as DHCP or DNS?

Nope, nobody can work as netadmin and not know basics. These are beginner's questions.

I too would be dubious, from your attitude, and the scope of the problems.

Quite frankly if i didn't know what those were, in a position such as yours i'd be canned...

if the company took you on knowing you needed extensive training, why are they not providing it?

Curiously, how can you not find those answers on a search engine???

No way are these questions net admin questions. The way they are phrased looks like homework to me. Before closing this thread, I would offer you the following advice:
  • all of your questions can be answered quickly by inputting them to Google
  • all of your questions can be answered by installing Debian and using it and using the man pages
  • all of your questions can be answered by using Rute and other Linux books - if your "company" uses Linux, get them to buy them for you

Closed.
